Instead, one diplomat after another took the podium to excoriate the Soviet destruction of Flight 007. Pierre Aubert of neutral Switzerland opened by taking oblique aim at the Soviets, saying that the most useful confidence-building measure would be "to persuade those who believe only in force, even in disrespect for human life, that they are in error." There was some doubt whether Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko would show up to face the heat. He not only showed up but droned through a standard speech about disarmament. His audience listened anxiously to hear whether Gromyko would mention the airliner...
...clan. "We have rarely seen such quality in the grape," attests Jean Delmas, estate manager of Cháteau Haut-Brion, the fabled premier grand cru classe Bordeaux cháteau.

She is beautiful and dutiful, weeps for 30 pages at a stretch, faints wherever the carpeting permits, seeks refuge from the "vices of the world" in the "beauties of nature and the nicer emotions of the mind." She sketches, plays the lute, offers helpful hints to harried...
...soulscapes may look like nothing more than shards of colored glass or a heavy calligraphic scrawl.
